1720’s Love Cards

Description

Originally, these cards were printed from copper plates engraved by John Lenthall in 1720. Reproduced from the original deck and offered only at Samson Historical, the cards have a heavy mythological influence. The satyrs and cherubs herald in captions and sayings warning and advising on the ways of the heart.

The value of the cards is depicted in the upper corner by a normal suit card image, though you’ll not find any written numbers there. 

These make a fun deck to read through or play with. Take turns drawing cards and reciting the catchy prose. Never fear, the sage advice is safe for listeners of all ages.
